The modest Mr. Bastian. Bastian is a loving and thoughtful German Shepherd.

He is irresistably adorable. He adores green beans. He is also well known for hiding clean laundry.
Bastian is a trusting playmate to humans (even though he sometimes sometimes peed NEXT to the newspaper when he was first being trained).

Unfortunately, Bastian was abandoned by a breeder. Bastian was brought to ShelterPups.com where he is being cared for temporarily while he waits each day for his forever home.

Bastian now dreams of the simple things like a kind human to worship, and a soft, safe place to snuggle. Bastian is a shy, low energy dog. Bastian's gentle demeanor makes him a great choice for gentle, patient humans. You should know that Bastian is a little bit moody . We recommend a home where he'll get extra patient attention and training.

He is basically house broken, but will have accidents if left alone for too long.
